Description

BACKGROUND
1. Technical Field
The disclosure relates to hinges, and more particularly, to a hinge used in a display apparatus.
2. Description of Related Art
With the ever increasing size of displays, the weight of the display also increases. Therefore, what is needed is a hinge capable of supporting heavier displays.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The components of the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout several views.
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a hinge in accordance with one embodiment.
FIG. 2 is an assembled view of the hinge of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a state of the hinge of FIG. 1 used in one embodiment of a display apparatus.
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Referring to FIG. 1 a hinge 4 includes a pivot rod 10, a first connection member 20, a second connection member 30, and a support member 40. Referring also to FIG. 3, a display apparatus 100 includes a display unit 12 and a seat 14 connected to the display unit 12 via the hinge 4. The first connection member 20, the second connection member 30, and the support member 40 are connected to the pivot rod 10. The first connection member 20 is fixed to the display unit 12, the display unit 12 is also connected to the support member 40, and the support member 40 is to the seat 14.
The pivot rod 10 includes a first cylindrical portion 101 and a second cylindrical portion 102. A diameter of the second cylindrical portion 102 is larger than a diameter of the first cylindrical portion 101, thus forming a shoulder 103. The first cylindrical portion 101 has a portion removed to form a substantially flat surface 1011 which extends along the axis of the first cylindrical portion 101.
The first connection member 20 includes a first sidewall 201, a second sidewall 202, a joint portion 203 connecting the first sidewall 201 to the second sidewall 202, and an attachment wall 204. A through hole 2022 is defined in the attachment wall 204. A space is formed between the first sidewall 201 and the second sidewall 202. A first hole 2011 is defined in the first sidewall 201, and a second hole 2021 is defined in the second sidewall 202. The shape of the first and second holes 2011, 2021 and the cross-sectional shape of the first cylindrical portion 101 are substantially the same.
The second connection member 30 includes a cylindrical wall 301 and a flat plate portion 302 connected to one end of the cylindrical wall 301. A through hole 3021 is defined in the flat plate portion 302.
The support member 40 includes a fixing plate portion 401 and a connection plate portion 402. The fixing plate portion 401 is substantially perpendicular to the connection plate portion 402. A round hole 4011 is defined in the fixing plate portion 401 and a pair of through holes 4012 are defined at opposite ends of the fixing plate portion 401.
In assembly, the pivot rod 10 is extended through the round hole 4011, the second hole 2021, and the first hole 2011 in turn. The first connection member 20 and the support member 40 are connected to the first cylindrical portion 101, and the second cylindrical portion 102 is accommodated by the cylindrical wall 301, while the flat plate portion 302 is connected to the connection plate portion 402. In one embodiment, rivets (not shown) extend through the hole 3021 to connect the second connection member 30 to the support member 40. The second connection member 30 may also be connected to the support member 40 by other means, such as soldering.
After assembly, the support member 40 is locked by the shoulder 103 and the first connection member 20. Accordingly, the support member 40 can only rotate relative to the pivot rod 10. A bolt (not shown) connected to the end of the first cylindrical portion 101 cooperates with the support member 40 to limit the first connection member 20 to move along the axis of the pivot rod 10. The first connection member 20 cannot rotate after being connected to the first cylindrical portion 101, because the flat surface 1011 is formed in the first cylindrical portion 101, and the shape of the first and second holes 2011, 2021 and the cross-sectional shape of the first cylindrical portion 101 are the same. In addition, since the second connection member 30 is connected to the support member 40, the second member 30 and the support member 40 can rotate relative to the pivot rod 10.
Referring to FIG. 3, the display unit 12 is connected to the seat 14 by the hinge 4. Specifically, a fastener (not shown) can extend through the through hole 2022 of the first connecting member 20 to fix the first connection member 20 to the display unit 12. An additional fastener can extend through the through hole 4012 of the support member 40 to fix the support member 40 to the seat 14. Additionally, the hinge 14 can also be connected to the display unit 12 and to the seat 14 by soldering or other means.
After the display unit 12 and the seat 14 are assembled together via the hinge 4, the angle of the display unit 12 can be adjusted by firstly rotating the display unit 12 to a desired angle. Accordingly, the first connection member 20 connected to the display unit 12, as well as the pivot rod 10, is driven to rotate. The first connection member 20 further drives the pivot rod 10 to rotate relative to the support member 40.
During the process of rotating the display unit 12, the support member 40 fixed to the seat 14 which does not move. The first connection member 20 together with the pivot rod 10 rotate relative to the seat 14 but not to the display unit 12.
Additionally, the hinge 4 can support a heavy display unit 12 because of the space formed between the first sidewall 101 and the second sidewall 102, and most of the second cylindrical portion 102 is accommodated by the cylindrical wall 301.
Although the present disclosure has been specifically described on the basis of the embodiments thereof, the disclosure is not to be construed as being limited thereto. Various changes or modifications may be made to the embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure.
